Why do the hazard lights flash when the turn switch is in the "off" position?

What is your question?

I just bought this car and the blinker lights would come on, but not blink. Replaced the turn signal flasher, and now the blinkers "blink", but when I put the turn signal switch in the "off" position, the hazard lights come on. Also, when the hazard lights come on, they pull power through the turn signal flasher. But when I turn the hazard switch to the "on" position, the hazards continue to work, but not through the turn signal flasher. My guess would be the turn/hazard switch needs replaced, but would like some others' opinions. Thanks.
